Promises to increase HP and fuel economy. Anyone know anything about this? Sounds too good to be true!

I would agree as well, but did you guys check out his feedback...there were many customers that said they were happy with it...if they weren't then he wouldn't have so much feedback and he has a guarantee money back, so what do you guys think now? I am still hesitant, but...what does his feedback mean to you guys...........discuss below

you can get better gas mileage and horse power on a dyno from simply changing your air pressure... its so easy to manipulate dyno numbers and claim... there is nothing that regulates manufacturers dyno claims...

Company A & B can sell the exact same intake product and claim 2 different numbers and show 2 different numbers...

You can sell someone a wire with a resistor and claim this and that... basicly thats what they are doing...

your more then welcome to try...

On older cars(mainly OBD1 ones) you could put the resistor into the CTS(coolant temp sensor) to tell the computer that the engine coolant was cold and it would stay in open loop(basically dump more fuel to warm up the engine faster) and that would get a bit more power but fuel mileage went way down. This doesnt work on OBD2 cars as the computers use more than just the CTS to determine engine temp and switch to closed loop. One idea that I have that I did on another car of mine was to re-route the coolant that flows through the throttle body, basically it goes through the throttle body to prevent the throttle from sticking in colder climates, well the coolant warms up the air going through it, probably not by much but it does. Ill take a look tomorrow if our throttle bodies have this or not and Ill see how easy it would be to re-route it.Cheers

It is simply not possible to get such gains in a practical way with something this inexpensive and trivial.

Short of significant ECU re-programming, super/turbo charging, weight reductions, differential gear ratio changes, etc., the cars are not going to get faster in a perceptible way. And, only a few of these affect horsepower.

These folks are preying on gullible people, who then see the results they want to see ... fooling themselves. I am amazed that this person gets any positive feedback.
